Well I took him today to see the vet to see if putting him on the two meds: Marin and Denosyl plus Lactulose drops will lower his high ALT (liver enzymes) basically the toxins that are suppose to flush out through urine/fecal got backed up in his body and that can cause seizures if the levels are too high .
So she agrees that I should give him these meds. I don't need a prescription and can buy them online for about 50% cheaper than any vets in my area.
Plus she gave us a new homemade diet which has the lowest protein Ihave seen. Basically a NO MEAT diet. So he is on white rice,1 boiled egg,vitamins,calcium carbonate. And that is for a week of food. So basically 1 egg for a whole week

I can give him cheerios as a snack to increase appetite . He will have his blood checked in a week to see if there is some kind of improvement. Right now his ALT level is 670 and it should be lower than 100. So even if it goes down to 650 ,it shows improvement and I will keep him on this diet until his levels are within normal range. If his levels continue to rise he can go into severe Liver failure and that's the point of no return for most dogs. So please keep this little guy in your prayers this week. I will post an update next week if Iget his results soon.
